Chapter 242: The Confidence of the Prince of Firearms
The eastern capital of Thang Long.
There is a flag of Dayu flying on the head of the city, and there is a tall royal flag on the platform.
The castle was filled with elite Annam soldiers.
"Ruan Jingzhen lost his teacher and humiliated the country, it is really a shame for me to be Annan!"
In the hall of the fort, a stern voice sounded.
A young man in his early twenties was at the top with a gloomy expression.
This person is Hu Yuancheng, the great prince of Annam.
Last year, Hu Jichen, a powerful minister of Annan, usurped the throne, claiming to be a descendant of Yu Shun and Hu Gongman, and the founding name was Dayu, and he proclaimed himself the emperor of Dayu State, and the year name was Shengyuan.
One person usurped the throne, the whole family was rich, Hu Jichen sealed all his sons, and his eldest son Hu Yuancheng was named King Wei and Zuo Xiangguo.
On either side of Hu Yuancheng, there was a row of Annan generals.
And Ruan Jingzhen, the secretary of the military department, knelt there with his back bareback, accepting the reprimand.
Born as a scholar, he suffered a lot of humiliation.
In the war between many states, Annan was paying close attention.
However, the Duobang defense line fell within half a day, which made Hu Yuancheng, the eldest prince stationed in Thang Long, furious.
After a humiliation, Hu Yuancheng shouted with a gloomy face: "Come on, pull Ruan Jingzhen out and behead the sacrificial flag!" ”
"King Wei spares his life!"
"King Wei spares his life!"
Ruan Jingzhen's sweat was dripping, and he couldn't care about face, so he begged for mercy loudly.
Looking at his appearance, the Annan generals present couldn't bear it in their hearts and pleaded tentatively.
Hu Yuancheng looked elegant, but his behavior was resolute, he raised his right arm and said categorically: "Needless to say, it's beheaded!" ”
No matter how Ruan Jingzhen struggles, it won't help.
The dignified military department is still in the book, and his head is hung on his own military flag.
The hall was silent.
After a long time, Hu Yuancheng spoke: "Although there are disadvantages on the front line, I still have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, millions of people, and there are Fuliangjiang natural dangers, why are you afraid of the Ming army?" ”
He's cheering people on.
Many of Annan's generals in the hall were already lying flat.
Rao is Hu Yuancheng killed the military department Shangshu, but he also failed to recover the decline of the multi-state defense line that was broken.
"The eldest prince, the Ming army has many generals and a wide range of soldiers, which cannot be underestimated."
Deng Zongji, the general of Annan, said with a solemn face: "The Ming army is brave and good at fighting, and it has sharp firearms, like a tiger with wings, it is really difficult to deal with......"
He didn't support a war with Da Ming in the first place, and as a result, he created this passive situation.
In the first battle of many states, Deng Zongji sent people to collect intelligence and carefully analyzed it.
A special firearm appeared in the Ming army, which was powerful and easy to carry.
Listening to the description of the person, the thing came down in waves, like rain, touching it and either killing or hurting.
And there are hundreds of Ming troops.
With the cooperation of cavalry, it is simply invincible!
"Firearms?"
The eldest prince Hu Yuancheng narrowed his eyes, what he is best at is firearms!
Firearms in the fourteenth century were not rare, and even artillery was widely used, but they were too backward compared to later generations.
But there will inevitably be geniuses.
The eldest prince, Hu Yuancheng, is a firearms genius.
He personally improved the most advanced "magic gun" of the Ming army at that time, and invented rockets such as "flying guns".
In the Annan Army, Hu Yuancheng was worshiped as the "God of Firearms"!
"On the power of firearms, how can the Ming army defeat my Dayu army?"
Hu Yuancheng laughed three times, very complacent.
He firmly believes that playing with firearms, his descendants are the trump card in the world!
The Ming army was actually known for firearms?
It's a class axe!
General Deng Zongji persuaded bitterly: "His Royal Highness King Wei, don't despise the Ming army's firearms. ”
"Contempt?"
Hu Yuancheng said: "Their most advanced god machine gun is not worth mentioning in my eyes, and the kind of artillery you said, how does it compare with my god rocket?" ”
The divine rocket in his mouth is a serial poisonous rocket.
Poison arrows fly out, powerful and long-range.
Due to Hu Yuancheng's continuous improvement of Daming firearms, Annan's firearms at this time were more advanced than the previous Ming military firearms.
It's a pity that Hu Yuancheng didn't know that there was suddenly one more class of troops in the world: the Shenji Battalion!
The firearms of the Yongle period were much more powerful than those of the Hongwu and Jianwen dynasties.
"General, you can say that the army is invincible, but you must not say that they have sharp firearms!"
There are generals who are good at patting sycophants, and they speak for the platform of the eldest prince.
Deng Zongji pondered for a long time and stopped talking.
He knew that King Wei wanted to use firearms to touch the Ming army.
The more you don't talk in a meeting, the more the leader feels that you have something to say and asks you about it.
Looking at Deng Zongji, who was silent, Hu Yuancheng asked: "General Yi, how should we deal with the southward movement of the Ming army?" ”
Deng Zongji got up and knelt down and said: "Back to the king of Wei, according to the opinion of the ministers, when the heavy army defends the front line of the Fuliang River, it is stubborn according to the danger, and the Ming army is fighting for attrition, in order to drag down the Ming army!"
Hu Yuancheng nodded slightly: "Then the hard work general personally defends the Fuliang River." ”
He is familiar with the history books and knows that three hundred years ago, the Northern Song Dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty, 300,000 troops went south to Jiaozhi, and it was at the Fuliang River that there was a big battle with the Jiaozhi army.
Although the Song army won in the end, it was also a miserable victory.
The 300,000 Song troops were poor in food and grass due to the miasma in the summer, and more than half of the people who died in battle and the epidemic, and finally returned to the dynasty.
The Great Song Dynasty did not occupy an inch of land, and it also pasted a Shunzhou.
Obviously, Zhu Yunxi also knows this history.
After the Ming army took many states, there was no delay.
Zhu Yunxi led the army to take Daoqin Station, easily connected Xinfu and other places, shot away the ambush troops in Annan, and drove straight to Sandaizhou to obtain ships from Guangxi.
As Deng Zongji, the general of Annan, said, there are many rivers in Annan, and the Annan army can deploy defenses along the rivers, hold on to the danger, and drag down the Ming army.
Obviously, Zhu Yunxi didn't eat this set and engaged in material transportation by sea.
A steady stream of supplies was transported from Yuntun Port to the hinterland of Annam along the porcelain river.
As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, Annam had close trade relations with the Ming Dynasty.
The surrounding area of Yuntun Port is wide and the water area is deep, which is enough to accept cargo ships from Daming.
Some wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty even opened factories in Nanhaiyang, Annan, to establish a ceramic industry.
It's like Foxconn building a factory in China.
From Hanoi to the sea through the Bench River, a tributary of the Red River, and then to the south of Hai Duong, the porcelain produced in Hai Duong can be sent to Yuntun Port by land and water, and then sold to all parts of the South Seas.
In the same way, the Daming Sailor can also go deep into the hinterland of Annam from Yuntun Port!
As early as before, Zhu Yunxi sent Zheng He to mobilize the naval warships of Guangdong and Fujian provinces to prepare to participate in the Battle of Fuliangjiang.
After obtaining the ships, Zhu Yunxi advanced his army to the north of the Fuliang River and camped.
He also sent Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, and others to send troops to Jialin River to attack the defenders of Annam, pretending to march elsewhere to paralyze the Annam army.
Always ready for the battle of crossing the river.
Zheng He was dressed in military uniform and strode into the camp.
At this time, he was a sailor general.
"Your Highness, the minister has sent someone to get in touch with the king of Champong, and they promise to send troops north!" Zheng He said with joy on his face.
Letting the younger brother of the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty participate in the battle together is Zhu Yunxi's masterpiece.
It's like Lao Mei develops the younger brother, let the younger brother assist in the formation, share the casualties, etc.
You can't pay for the war, and you have to let the little brothers shed some blood.
According to the plan, the Champa state, which had been bullied by Annan, would launch an attack from the south, posing a threat to Thanh Hoa, the capital of Annam.
Daming and the north and south roads of Zhancheng, so lightly clamped Annan, directly sandwiched into Tongguan meat sandwich bun!
If it weren't for the urgency of time, Zhu Yunxi planned to try the routine of proxy war......
"Destroy Annan first, deal with Xiao Ri later, and then try a new model!"
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flashed with expectation.
